KIDYou can be your own best friend.

Who am I?

something you can do.

Sounds weird?

Think about it.

Who are you with all the time? Yourself.

So, take some time to really get to know

yourself.

Start by asking yourself some questions.

· Am I a positive person who looks forward

to each day?

· Am I a good listener?

· What am I good at?

· What do I like to do in my spare time?

· What do I like about my looks?

· Do I like myself?

You will have times when you mess up or feel

ashamed about things you may have said or

done, but you're still OK as a person - believe

it or not that happens to everyone, even

parents and teachers!

If you are feeling sad and can't seem to find

things that you like about yourself, here is

Ask people like mum, dad, grandma, your

teacher, family friends or your friends what

they like about you. Or talk to a trusted adult

about how you feel.

If you like yourself, others will probably like

you too.

If someone doesn't like you don't worry - you

can't expect everyone to like you. After all,

you don't like everyone either, do you?

You can show what a nice person you are by

always being pleasant and good mannered -

even to people you don't like.
